Abstract
⺠Flower-shaped ZnO-structures were synthesized via microwave hydrothermal method. ⺠ZnO-nanopencils were incorporated on the P3HT and blended surface. ⺠Formation of hexagonal and cone-like structures on the P3HT surface demonstrated an improved morphology. ⺠The interfacial area and charge transport improved. ⺠The absorption spectra, refractive index and extinction coefficient shifted to lower photon energies.
